The campaign treasurer for Rep. Susan Davis, D-San Diego, deposited $40,000 from another client into the San Diego congresswoman’s account last October without telling either elected official, according to a federal affidavit filed Tuesday.

Kinde Durkee routinely used political donations to pay her personal expenses, including bills at Disneyland, Baskin-Robbins and a Long Beach pet clinic, the document claims. She was the treasurer for dozens of politicians including Rep. Bob Filner, D-San Diego.

Client funds were also used to pay Durkee’s employees, her mortgage and nursing-home expenses for her mother, federal records allege.

Durkee was arrested Friday on bank fraud charges at the Burbank offices of her company, Durkee and Associates. That was the same day she “admitted that she had been misappropriating her clients’ money for years and that forms she filed with the state were false,” the affidavit says.

Without entering a plea, Durkee made an initial appearance Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles. Her next scheduled appearance is Friday. She remains in federal custody.

“We anticipate she’ll enter a not guilty plea and the case will be moved to Sacramento,” her attorney, Daniel Nixon, told The Orange County Register.

A telephone message left at the Durkee and Associates office Tuesday afternoon was not immediately returned. A recording advised callers, “We are currently establishing protocols to transfer accounts to authorized agents for those who have made this request. We expect to have these protocols in place within 48 hours. Thank you for your patience.”

Davis’ campaign said committee officials are looking into the charges and noted that they had not been contacted by federal investigators.

According to the complaint, Durkee had signing authority on more than 400 checking accounts and regularly moved money between funds to cover expenses and to hide her misappropriations.

Durkee “transferred money from her clients’ bank accounts to her firm’s bank accounts without her clients’ knowledge or authorization,” the complaint says. “It also appeared that Durkee refunded a portion of the misappropriated money when needed to cover checks or when misappropriations had been detected.”

Durkee has served dozens of California politicians, including Davis, U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, Assemblywoman Toni Atkins and Orange County Assemblyman Jose Solorio, whose campaign contributions were the subject of the federal complaint. She is also serving as assistant treasurer of the Bob Filner for Mayor 2012 committee.

Federal investigators said Durkee improperly diverted at least $700,000 of client funds since Sept. 1, 2010. The criminal investigation is ongoing and could expand to include misused funds that were donated to other elected officials.

The current allegations involve contributions to Solorio, the Santa Ana assemblyman. In October, Durkee covered a $40,000 check to the Susan Davis for Congress committee with Solorio’s money, the complaint states.

Two years ago, state Sen. Christine Kehoe, D-San Diego, fired Durkee for allegedly failing to report 29 suspected check forgeries by an employee of Durkee and Associates.

Kehoe also asked the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office to investigate the suspected embezzlement of more than $57,000 and other possible financial irregularities found during a routine audit of her 2006 campaign account.

The Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office said Tuesday that it had no record of charges filed against Durkee, and Kehoe’s office did not respond to requests about the outcome of that complaint.
